Problem with Liteon flashed with ix1.6

[felix11]

A box with a liteon drive I flashed with ix1.6 some weeks ago, and was working with backups for a while has suddenly stopped working. If I put a backup into it, it reads for a min then goes back to 'open tray'.

I thought about flashing it back to its stock fw then reflashing it, but I have read that you cannot restore a liteon back to stock once it's been flashed.

Is this correct? any other suggestions?

hi mate im well in with all these mods
your problem is simply one of these
1. your sata lead in 360 is not connected properly try reconnecting or
2. your laser assembly has slid to the end of the rail simply meaning it has gone past the outer edge of the disc hence why it will not return as it cant read the data that tells i to return open the drive and slide it back to the spinndle then try again

let us know how it goes

Sound like the laser has probably packed in. Nothing wrong with flashing over with 1.6 again and trying that but for it to stop suddenly then the laser prob gone.

Try sticking a dvd in and see if that plays.

The liteons are bad for laser burning out.

[felix11]

It will play a standard DVD - I tried that initially so I didn't think the laser had actually packed in.

I'll have a look at the laser assemby and see what I can find - thanks to both of your for your input.

I will let you know what I find.....

[felix11]

So I had as look and the laser assembly was about half an inch away from the end of the spindle - so I moved it all the way back. But still the same problem.

It will play a film DVD - but no games, backup or otherwise.

Any more idea's?

Sounds like a reflash might do the job.

This is what happens to a drive when the key is wrong.

But if you say it worked before then its a bit strange. Reflash it and it should wotk.

[felix11]

The thought that the key may be wrong was my initial thought. Which is why in my first post I asked about flashing the original firmware back (to restore the correct key), then re-flashing it.

But I have read you cannot restore a liteon back to stock, is this true? if it isn't, is there a guide anywhere on using jungle flasher to restore stock firmware? (I have the files).

[cgscott]

If you have the original files stick them into jungleflasher as source and then flash ixtreme 1.6.

Spoof the key from original over.

P.S a liteon cannot be restored to original unlike all other drives.

[wreksta]

it is true you still can not read liteon firmware if it is flashed or not
do you not have the origianal firmware
when it was flashed

if so you ca re-flash using the key created from your original dummy bin

if im reading this right i can see you have he ability to flash it again by first obtaining the key with certain tools and probe so it would do it no harm to flash it again
but save your dummy.bin and your key as that way you can just load up lite-on ix1.6 insert your key
erase drive then flash

not true idf the key is wrong it will say insert gme into a xbox 360 to play (not open tray sorry though i would point this out)

[felix11]

Thanks for all your help guys but it turns out this is just a troublesome drive - I tried just ejecting and closing the drive tray after I got the 'Open Tray' prompt and the game loaded.

It seems that the drive sometimes reads the disc correctly and sometimes not - you just have to try ejecting and reloading till it works.

No answer to that I reccon!
